8. Tsunami
The term of “tsunami” comes from the Japanese which means
harbour ("tsu") and wave ("nami"). A tsunami is a series of
waves generated when water in a lake or the sea is rapidly
displaced on a massive scale.
A tsunami can be generated when the sea floor abruptly
deforms and vertically displaces the overlying water. Such large
vertical movements of the earth's crust can occur at plate
boundaries. Subduction of earthquakes are particularly effective
in generating tsunamis, and occur where denser oceanic plates
slip under continental plates.
As the displaced water mass moves under the influence of
gravity to regain its equilibrium, it radiates across the ocean like
ripples on a pond.
Tsunami always bring great damage. Most of the damage is
caused by the huge mass of water behind the initial wave front,
as the height of the sea keeps rising fast and floods powerfully
into the coastal area.
